Tigran: launching into a story about a time when he was 7 and watched a guy get eaten alive by dogs, completely unprompted and unnervingly blasé about the whole thing.
Etsushir: not listening, warming his hands over the nightly allotment of yams, smoking.
Palo: this is the tenth time he's heard this story, not listening, wondering whether Etsushir is smoking tobacco and where the hell he got it and can he have some?
#Lore:#Tigran has kind of a psychological fixation on people being eaten by dogs. Which is rooted in childhood trauma but it's hard#to tell because he loves dogs and always seems weirdly enthused by the whole concept.#More lore:#They're cooking on a dry dung fire which is very common in the region in general- largely grassland and savannah. Most of the#formerly wooded areas are deforested both on a long scale due to the drying climate and on a short scale of human use.#Wood is a valuable commodity and grown in agricultural regions and harvested with coppicing or otherwise imported by sea.#The northeast has an intact forest that hasn't been widely exploited due to distance from urban centers and impracticality of#transport over land and that's pretty much it.#The Highlands also retain woodlands within the interior but the formerly surrounding forests have been heavily exploited#(due to proximity to major rivers) and were fully wiped out within the past century.#The fact that cremation is the default and expected funerary practice and also used in most sacrificial offerings heavily#contributes (cattle and khait dung is allowable for these purposes due to the animals' sacred status but not considered preferable).#(associated with lower class funerals)#Anyway bottom line dry dung is going to be what the majority of people use for everyday fuel needs and also what pretty#much everyone on the pilgrimage is using (which the wealthier members are unaccommodated to but these guys are)#etsushir#tigran otto#palo apolynnon#the white calf

Sketch concept that might become a fully rendered piece
(Also sorry quality is crap)
#sso#starstable#soul steeds#Concorde#Starshine#Meteor#Tin-Can#I was thinking of making everyone’s magical form be either a Pegasus or Unicorn depending on their circles theme#Concorde is a Pegasus cause duh he/she’s always been one and it just makes sense since portal hopping = reliable transportation#Starshine is also a unicorn because also duh he’s always sort of been one (as per the statue) but also healing is most commonly associated#with unicorns#Meteor and Tin Can got the short end of the stick#so I bestowed them both with wings and horns#Meteor is a unicorn because knowledge and future vision is also associated with ‘wise’ unicorns#Tin Can is a Pegasus since the lightning circle is kind of associated with the sky since thunder = clouds = sky#might change the designs along the way who knows#might marinate in my wips

ok i dont think this is anything related to the watchmaker and all that stuff, but i think its insane that the Family turns traitors into memory zone memes because the concept of the memory zone memes is just that they were created by the true Dreamscape and from the emotions of those within the Dreamscape
this was from the emoscape with Mr McCoy in Dewlight Pavilion, where he was ordered by the Dreammaster to turn his siblings, who were apparently selling information to the IPC about the Family, into memory zone memes, but now i'm wondering just how many people got turned into memory zone memes for being a traitor
I would have said too that maybe the Family - trying to seek out the traitor and the killer of the first Oak Family Head - framed the Watchmaker and possibly turned him into a memory zone meme as well, but the Family is trying to search for the Watchmaker so that's less likely the case. But I just love seeing how fucked up actually the Family can be AND getting more information about the Dreammaster since there really isn't much of anything
#my only thing rn is like 'WHO IS GALLAGHER REALLY'#but i genuinely have no idea alksjdfalkjh#one post i have in mind to do is a timeline of events in penacony history#but i think whats neat is that this is a generational murder case#in dewlight pavilion the 6 nightingale statues you interact with/that spin around#have descriptions that talk about the first family heads within the family#and specifically the one about the bloodhound family head who was loyal and stayed by the oak familys head#as he bled out/got killed#hold on let me see the exact wording#'when the oak family head was betrayed and left to die it was he that accompanied him in his final moments.'#i think itd be fucked up if the dreammaster decided to lock up watchmaker as clockie LAKSDJFHAL#OR LIKE.#idk i feel like itd be weird if they redid the same concept but memory wiped mikhail being misha but that also wouldnt make sense anyways#because that doesnt explain misha's grandfather who is that.#mikhail. sir. i need more information on you. i think youre neat and fun :(#soanyways !#penacony has not shied itself of its former past#i mean it was clear when they decided to use the jail cells as the main transportation in penacony#but to basically jail 'criminals' into playing parts within their little stageplay of an amusement park#i kept saying 'this is steering towards deadman wonderland vibes' and it. it kinda is LAKSJDHFALKSJ#though. not as gory. but theres MURDER AFOOT#avil plays hsr

Henna not being back in any capacity in the second Mariposa movie gives me two impressions:
1). untapped potential for a 3rd movie where we get Henna reformation or some such.
2).
Mariposa: I wonder how Henna's doing out there.
Willa: ..... what if she's dead 😧
Mariposa: 😨
Honestly it's entirely possible that she IS dead; a lot of her control over the Skeezites hinged on the promise of invading Flutterfield, and we can see their patience wearing thin throughout the movie. It's possible her failure to follow through would be the final straw, and that her lights would only be able to carry her so far when her entire army is against her. I do like the potential for another sequel to tie up that loose end though, in no small part because "dramatic revenge declaration followed by offscreen death that's never mentioned" is just kind of anticlimactic. Even if it's been a decade and that ship has sailed at this point. We could've had it all. Two fairy trilogies. Also consider: The Skeezites don't seem to be a threat--or even present at all-- in Fairy Princess. They're not once brought up unless in past tense. Regellius brings up Flutterfield defeating them when that's not necessarily how it happens in the first movie(which she does point out but focuses more on the method than the outcome so it's still unclear). Yeah they succeed in driving them off, but if Mariposa's quest or the fact that they've been terrorizing the kingdom for centuries says anything, it's that there are probably way more hanging around than Henna's immediate army. I'm imagining a midquel where she manages to get the Skeezites to hold out for a little longer so she can get her Revenge Plan in, and Flutterfield deals with them for good.
#My biggest thing at the moment would just be that Mariposa specified that it never came down to a fight#so I'd have to consider a Non-Fighty way to do that. Big magic.#She does have the flutterflower so I guess traveling wouldn't be that much of a danger but that gift was framed as more for#sentimental value than for protection.#Bringing Marabella back to life restored flutterfield to its status quo but didn't get rid of the skeezites or anything.#And like yeah they have the thistleburst lights now so maybe transportation is no big deal#maybe the skeezites stopped hunting butterfly fairies when they realized they had some form of defense.#But they're such a non-presence it's still just weird. Walk with me here.#It's still been too long to bring the series back but. Mariposa 1.5 where we find out where Rayla and Rayna and Zinzie went#pieceofcake.txt#cakeasks#Was so deep in Henna Denial when I found out she wasn't going to be the villain in Fairy Princess that my mind just instinctively went#'Oh wow she's aged a lot since the 1st movie'#In my mind if she survives she could maybe eventually get a redemption but she wouldn't continue living in Flutterfield#cakeart#The dialogue for the image was heavily paraphrased but inmy defense my internet has been supreme dogwater lately#So I was working off memory at like 4 am

Well hello there, who's up for some fucked up horse?
Hogsteed, ladies and gentlemen. Or Hellspawns, as some might call them...
So yea it's one of the species I'm making up for fanfic purposes as none of the existing creatures in the SW universe (both canon and legends) fit my needs. Also because I'm making up a whole planet as none of the existing ones was just about right for me...
Here's the design, more detailed info will appear later. Somewhere. When I finally get myself to continue writing that fanfic. Yea...
#artists on tumblr#traditional art#speculative zoology#project: the lost platoon#Also contrary to many other sci-fi creatures these will have plenty of variations to better reflect their domesticated status#because YES these beasts are domesticated! And used as draft animals! And for riding! And mounted combat! And zootherapy!#They can be very sweet when raised properly#Like generally speaking temperament and behavior-wise hogsteeds are a mix of draft horses pigs rhinos and livestock guardian dogs#yea so this is the creature clones will be using for transport once they crash on the planet#but first I have to figure out how to do logistics of tacking up these things#Mainly how to make saddles that accomodate for the back slope and how to manage bits in relation to their tusks. Or if do bits at all#None of these things will actually matter in that fic but hey! I come up with cool stuff!#and YES. THOSE are the creatures Yurand and Vorskel become horse girl (gn) for

Anyone who lives in Manhattan and buys a car is just unhinged sorry. You live in one of the few places in the US where it is actively inconvenient to own a car and you choose to get one just because you really love carbon emissions or something?
#this is why I always think people are naive for saying that having good public transportation is enough to discourage car use#and we don't need to also discourage it through policies#the carrot and not the stick#some people will drive even if they live in a place where you do not have to#because they see cars as a status symbol#or just really hate being around 'the poors'

#random personal stuff#personal whining ahead feel free to ignore#how to friend when you're now the only one in this particular group of three with no children?#how to be helpful when things go on that you've no experience with & don't know what to do for & it's shameful that you're not in mom club?#how to support when maybe there isn't a reason anymore that this friend would find you relevant?#my current status is right for me but...yikes it's hard not to feel like a third wheel#(before anyone suggests it I don't live near enough to babysit with my current mode of transportation i.e. walking)

Class I had in my schedule for next semester (which starts in a month btw) got cancelled and they only told everyone about it like an hour ago and while I did manage to find something else and get everything sorted my heart is still pounding over the ordeal
#maybe I'm just too insane about my schedule but MAN i try so hard to make everything work with the limited trains i can take back and forth#while also giving myself enough time at home to actually do my work considering i lose almost 3 hours just in transportation every day#so telling me NOW when everything is picked over that you've cancelled a class on me and i will not have full student status#unless i find something else? IT'S A LITTLE STRESSFUL ACTUALLY#so much shit just straight up didn't even fit into my schedule cause of the times of my other classes#my major department really pack them in next to each other cause we're only allowed one classroom 💀💀#but that's not exactly helpful for picking classes outside of the department#I'm extremely glad i finally got something to work out but it was very touch and go there for a while 😭😭 truly my body has not recovered#stress response goes crazy ig#megan.txt

15 minute cities disgust US conservatives because they need cars. they’re too important as a status symbol & they serve to keep society segregated. being stuck in traffic for an hour is the price they happily pay to not have to walk near groups of people they fear and hate
Shaun (@/shaun_vids)
"you won’t need to drive everywhere!" sounds like a bonus to reasonable people but to a conservative you may as well be trying to sell them on being thrown to a pack of ravenous wolves
union labor with American characteristics (@/ntsfwrk)
Anyone who thinks that driving is correlated to freedom has never had to drive anywhere near a major city. Freedom is having the choice to take the train instead of needing an expensive vehicle that’s more dangerous, inefficient, and stressful to operate.

Finally working as a social worker in the field and yeah we're cops too. We're churning ppl thru the system too. Most fucked up thing is my job is considered a "mental health" agency and we're supposed to prioritize linking ppl to mental health resources... whole time like 95% of our clients are homeless and utilize us primarily for a hotel stay. These ppl are worrying about where they're gonna get their next meal, what's going to happen to them after their hotel stay runs out. I have clients who are single mothers on the verge of homelessness and I'm supposed to ask "how do you feel about outpatient counseling? Psychiatry? Mental health skill building?" It's fucked.
#it's a systemic issue for sure and i do my best to go against management when i can#and yeah there are clients who do need mental health resources. but if their homelessness is the root CAUSE of their mental health status-#-its just putting a band aid over a massive open wound#i'm realizing crisis stabilization as a concept is just fucked bc it assumes clients are in the best possible circumstance aside from their-#-mental health. assuming ppl have the income to utilize additional services. the transportation to access them#this company i work for is so evil anyway. they're trying to make our nurses 1099 now after hiring them on full time

taylor swift should die not for all the normal reasons but because the cultural fallout would have long lasting entertaining effects to me
#i need to be transported to a universe where this happens for scientific reasons… i just want to study the sort of thing that would happen#would there be easter egg theories… johnlockian levels of delusional? would a statue be made. national holiday of rememberance?
